Polymorphism of the rDNA Chromosomal Regions in the Weatherfish Misgurnus fossilis (Teleostei: Cobitidae). Folia Biologica (Kraków) 65: 63-70. The weatherfish, Misgurnus fossilis (Linnaeus, 1758), is native and an endangered species in Europe. Individuals with a chromosome number of 100 representing the most frequent cytotype seem to have a polyploid origin in comparison with rarely observed individuals of 50 chromosomes. This study cytogenetically characterized M. fossilis (five males, seven females) possessing 100 chromosomes to show the chromosomal distribution of major and minor ribosomal DNAs, and telomeric DNA repeats using fluorescence in situ hybridization with 28S and 5S rDNAs, and telomere peptide nucleic acid probes, respectively. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) staining was used to show the activity of nucleolus organizer regions (Ag-NORs) and chromomycin A3 (CMA3) fluorochrome staining to detect the GC-rich chromosome regions. In all individuals size polymorphism of Ag-NORs and rDNA clusters was identified. Most of the studied individuals exhibited four 28S rDNA sites found in the short arms of the submetacentric and subtelo-acrocentric chromosomes, however in one female only two 28S rDNA sites were observed. Chromosome regions consisting of 28S rDNA corresponded to AgNO3 positive and GC-rich chromatin. The 5S rDNA loci were located predominantly in a pericentromeric position of eight or six subtelo-acrocentric chromosomes and did not co-localize with 28S rDNA. The telomeric repeats were exclusively localized at the ends of all M. fossilis chromosomes. The presence of four NOR-bearing chromosomes may reflect the polyploid origin of M. fossilis with 100 chromosomes. In turn, reduction of the NOR sites observed in one specimen might be considered as part of the rediploidization process. Key words: Cytogenetics, NORs, FISH, polyploidy, ribosomal genes, telomeres.

  • A Case Study of Weatherfish (Misgurnus Fossilis)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The role of detritivory as a feeding tactic in a harsh environment – a case study of weatherfsh Received: 31 July 2018 Accepted: 28 May 2019 (Misgurnus fossilis) Published: xx xx xxxx Kacper Pyrzanowski 1, Grzegorz Zięba 1, Małgorzata Dukowska1, Carl Smith1,2,3 & Mirosław Przybylski1 The weatherfsh (Misgurnus fossilis) is a species that is tolerant of unfavourable environmental conditions and can survive low dissolved oxygen concentrations and high water temperatures. Although this species occurs across almost the whole of Europe, and is protected in many countries, relatively little is known regarding its ecology. To determine the diet of weatherfsh, 120 individuals from an artifcial drainage canal in central Poland were collected in two seasons (spring and late summer) with contrasting abiotic condition (oxygen concentration, water temperature and transparency). Analysis of gut fullness showed that weatherfsh consumed a greater quantity of food in spring (0.92 ± 0.90) compared with summer (0.20 ± 0.26). Contrary to other cobitid taxa, weatherfsh fed actively during daytime in both seasons. An estimate of the importance of each dietary component indicated that the most important food categories were chironomids, copepods, Asellus aquaticus and detritus. SIMPER analysis indicated that these four categories together constituted over 65.8% of cumulative dissimilarity in the diet between seasons. Additionally, trophic niche breadth difered signifcantly between seasons. The study demonstrated that the weatherfsh is an opportunistic feeder, consuming large quantities of detritus despite possessing a gut morphology that is atypical of a detritivore. The quantity of detritus in the gut of weatherfsh was positively associated with fsh total length and varied seasonally, with a greater quantity of detritus in the diet in late summer.

Corresponding author: *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Members of the genus Cobitis in the southern Caspian Sea basin of Iran are found from the Atrak to Aras Rivers. Two species, namely C. keyvani and C. faridpaki had been already described from this distribution range. However, previous study revealed that C. keyvani is a junior synonym of C. faridpaki, therefore populations of the eastern part of the Sefid River are C. faridpaki and those of the western part of this basin represent an undescribed species misidentified as C. keyvani in previous studies. Here we describe and compare it with other species of this genus from Iran based on morphological and molecular (COI barcode region) characters.

International trade is an important mechanism for global non-indigenous species introductions, which have had profound impacts on the biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems including the Laurentian Great Lakes. The best-documented vector by which non-indigenous species have entered the Great Lakes is ballast water discharged by transoceanic ships. A variety of potential alternative vectors exist, including the intentional release of aquarium or food organisms. To assess whether these vectors pose a significant invasion risk for the Great Lakes, we surveyed fish sold live in markets and fish, mollusks and macro- phytes sold in pet and aquarium stores within the Great Lakes watershed. We evaluated invasion risk using information on species’ thermal tolerance, history of invasion elsewhere, and potential propagule loads as indicated by frequency of occurrence in shops. Our research suggests that both the aquarium industry and live fish markets represent potential sources of future invaders to the Great Lakes, including several aquarium fishes and macrophytes, as well as Asian carp species sold in fish markets.

In the Danube catchment four cobitid (Cobitis elongata, C. elongatoides, Misgurnus fossilis, Sabanejewia balcanica) and one nemacheilid species (Barbatula barbatula) were recorded, while the Adriatic Sea catchment hosts three spined loaches: C. narentana, C. illyrica, and C. herzegoviniensis and nemachilid B. barbatula. Cobitis elongatoides was found to be the most common and distributed throughout the northern Bosnia and Herzegovina; i.e.

  • Advancing Improvement in Riverine Water Quality Caused a Non-Native Fish Species Invasion and Native Fish Fauna Recovery
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Advancing improvement in riverine water quality caused a non‑native fsh species invasion and native fsh fauna recovery Łukasz Głowacki*, Andrzej Kruk & Tadeusz Penczak The knowledge of biotic and abiotic drivers that put non‑native invasive fshes at a disadvantage to native ones is necessary for suppressing invasions, but the knowledge is scarce, particularly when abiotic changes are fast. In this study, we increased this knowledge by an analysis of the biomass of most harmful Prussian carp Carassius gibelio in a river reviving from biological degradation. The species’ invasion followed by the invasion’s reversal occurred over only two decades and were documented by frequent monitoring of fsh biomass and water quality. An initial moderate improvement in water quality was an environmental flter that enabled Prussian carp’s invasion but prevented the expansion of other species. A later substantial improvement stimulated native species’ colonization of the river, and made one rheophil, ide Leuciscus idus, a signifcant Prussian carp’s replacer. The redundancy analysis (RDA) of the dependence of changes in the biomass of fsh species on water quality factors indicated that Prussian carp and ide responded in a signifcantly opposite way to changes in water quality in the river over the study period. However, the dependence of Prussian carp biomass on ide biomass, as indicated by regression analysis and analysis of species traits, suggests that the ecomorphological similarity of both species might have produced interference competition that contributed to Prussian carp’s decline. Non-native species are a major driver of the biotic homogenization and loss of biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems1–3.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e54959. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e54959 Abstract Background In ichthyological publications from both Russia as a whole, and from the study region, lack of data indicating the actual results of observations in a specific place all result in publication of a generalised analysis. Although our publications contain such data, they are, however, not convenient for users performing global analysis. The main purpose of publishing a database is to make our data available in the global biodiversity system to a wide range of users. Dataset represents a significant addition to the distribution of species in this area.
